Embark on a rewarding journey as a Volunteer Native Planter, where you’ll connect with like-minded individuals, refine your gardening expertise, and delve into the world of native plants. By tending to the Courtyard Garden and Front Entrance Garden at the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education, you’ll enhance beauty and biodiversity of this important landscape.

To celebrate the hard work and accomplishments of our volunteers, we invite you to attend this special final Native Planters of the 2024 season. Socialize with fellow volunteers while enjoying light refreshments. Although we generally welcome walk-ins for Native Planters, we ask that you register in advance for this event so we can anticipate the number of attendees for this end-of-season celebration.
